Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] perf pmu: Support more complex PMU event aliasing

The jevent "Unit" field is used for uncore PMU alias definition.

The form uncore_pmu_example_X is supported, where "X" is a wildcard,
to support multiple instances of the same PMU in a system.

Unfortunately this format not suitable for all uncore PMUs; take the Hisi
DDRC uncore PMU for example, where the name is in the form
hisi_scclX_ddrcY.

For the current jevent parsing, we would be required to hardcode an uncore
alias translation for each possible value of X. This is not scalable.

Instead, add support for "Unit" field in the form "hisi_sccl,ddrc", where
we can match by hisi_scclX and ddrcY. Tokens in Unit field are 
delimited by ','.
